DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_BAD_CONFIG error in Ubuntu 14.04

Solution 1:

So I figured out what the problem was. When I ran the following command sudo resolvconf -u I got this error:

/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf`

I solved this error by deleting /etc/resolv.conf and recreating the symbolic link. You can do that using the following commands:

sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo resolvconf -u

This resolved the DNS error I was getting.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

Say yes to "prepare /etc/resolve.conf for dynamic updates?"

sudo reboot
